Definitions

  • the invention relates to a liquid container comprising a box and a flexible bag accommodated in the box and containing the liquid and having a first end and a second end , the first end being fixed at a wall part of the box.
  • Liquid containers of this type may for example be used for liquid ink for a printer or copier.
  • JP 2012-183714 A describes an example of such a liquid container.
  • the box thanks to its regular shape and rigidity, facilitates handling and storage of the container while the flexible bag provides a lightweight and liquid-tight enclosure that is easy to manufacture.
  • an elastic member tends to stretch the bag into a flattened state.
  • EP 2 095 955 discloses an ink cartridge that comprises a container body, a slider that encloses the container body, and an elastic member for urging the container body and the slider apart. Since the walls of the container body are not flexible, the container body may not collapse when the ink is consumed. In order to avoid that a vacuum develops in the container body, it is therefore necessary that air is permitted to enter into the container body.
  • the box according to the invention has two parts that are telescopically movable relative to one another, an elastic member is provided for urging the two parts of the box apart, and said first end of the bag is fixed at one of the parts of the box and said second end of the bag is fixed at the other of the two parts of the box.
  • the elastic member causes the telescopic parts of the box to expand and thereby to stretch the bag into its flat state by drawing the opposite ends of the bag apart from outside. This not only prevents the bag from forming wrinkles but has the additional advantage that the amount by which the telescopic parts are expanded and, therewith, the amount to which the bag has been emptied, is readily visible from the outside.
  • the one of the two parts of the box that is arranged to be telescopically moved out of the other part may have a scale that indicates the relative position of the two parts and, accordingly, the quantity of liquid left in the bag.
  • Fig. 1 is a sectional view of a liquid container filled with liquid
  • Fig. 2 shows the liquid container of Fig. 1 in the emptied state
  • Fig. 3 is an exploded perspective view of a box of the liquid container
  • Figs. 4 and 5 are perspective views of the liquid container in the filled and emptied state, respectively.
  • Fig. 6 shows a supply cabinet of a printing system comprising a liquid container according to the present invention.
  • the ink container shown in Fig. 1 comprises a box 10 that accommodates a flexible bag 12.
  • the bag 12 is filled with a liquid, e.g. with liquid ink, maintenance liquid or media pretreatment liquid for an ink jet printer.
  • the box 10 has two parts 14, 16 that are telescopically movable relative to one another.
  • the part 14 (bottom part) has a bottom wall 18 and side walls 20.
  • the part 16 (top part) has a roof-shaped top wall 22 and side walls 24 that are held in sliding engagement with the internal surfaces of the side walls 20 of the bottom part 14, so that the top part 16 is guided for vertical movement relative to the bottom part 14.
  • a spout 26 through which the liquid that is contained in the bag 12 may be withdrawn or poured out is mounted in the top wall 22 of the top part 16, and a first end 28 of the bag 12 is fluid-tightly connected to the spout 26 and thus held rigidly at the top wall 22 of the part 16.
  • An opposite second part 30 of the bag 12 is fixed at the bottom wall 18 of the part 14.
  • An elastic member 32 is provided for biasing the two parts 14, 16 of the box 10 apart, i.e. for biasing the top part 16 upwardly relative to the bottom part 14.
  • the elastic member 32 takes the form of a coil spring the windings of which extend along the side walls 20 of the part 14 so that a relatively large hollow space is left inside the spring, permitting the bag 12 to be attached at the bottom wall 18.
  • a lower end of the elastic member 32 is supported on the bottom wall 18 whereas the top end is supported at the lower edge of the side walls 24 of the top part 16.
  • the elastic member 32 is compressed into a flat state. Since the bag 12 is filled with liquid, it tends to retain an inflated state in which the volume is large enough to accommodate the liquid and, correspondingly, the distance between the first and second ends 28, 30 of the bag is relatively short. Since the ends of the bag are attached to the parts 14 and 16, respectively, the bag 12 exerts a tensile force onto the two parts 14, 16 of the box, and this tensile force counterbalances the force of the elastic member 32.
  • the bag 12 when the bag 12 is emptied, it collapses into a flattened state, as has been shown in Fig. 2.
  • This allows the first and second ends 28, 30 of the bag to be drawn apart under the force of the elastic member 32 while the top part 16 of the bag is telescopically moved out of the bottom part 14.
  • the flattened bag extends approximately along a diagonal plane of the internal cross-section of the box 10.
  • the bottom part 14 and the top part 16 of the box 10 have been shown separately. It will be understood that these parts of the box can easily be manufactured, e.g. from cardboard or semi-rigid plastics.
  • Fig. 4 shows the box 10 in the collapsed state, i.e. in the condition in which the bag inside the box is filled with liquid.
  • Fig. 5 shows the box 10 in an expanded state, when the bag has been emptied to some degree. It can be seen here that one side wall of the top part 16 of the box is provided with a scale 34 that, together with the top edge of the side wall of the bottom part 14, serves as an indicator for the amount of liquid still left in the bag.
  • the liquid contained in the box 10 as shown in Fig. 1 may be emptied out of the liquid container in various ways including using a pump and by gravity.
  • a supply cabinet 50 of a printing system comprising six liquid containers according to the present invention is shown.
  • the liquid containers (40, 41 , 42, 43, 44 and 45) respectively contain cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink (CMYK); maintenance liquid e.g. for flushing ink jet print heads, e.g. indicated with L1 and a primer liquid for pre-treating recording substrates, e.g. indicated with L2.
  • liquid containers 40, 41 , 42, 44, 45 are such that the spouts of the respective containers are the lowest parts of the liquid containers relative to the floor 60, such that the liquids can be emptied out of the bags by gravity.
  • container 40 cyan
  • container 41 magenta
  • container 42 yellow
  • Container 43 black
  • This position is such that an operator may be able to position a liquid container according to the present invention in the supply cabinet 50 and connect the spout 26 to the printer or printing system e.g. via a hose (not shown) in an ergonomic way.
  • the liquid container 43 After establishing a fluid connection between the liquid container and the printer or printing system, the liquid container 43 is tilted in a position similar to the shown positions of liquid containers 40, 41 , 42, 44 and 45.
  • the shape of the top and bottom parts of the box 10 may be varied in various ways.
  • the elastic member 32 may have a different configuration.
  • elastic tension elements e.g. rubber straps that are fixed near the top edge of the side walls of the bottom part 14 with their top ends and near the bottom edge of the side walls of the top part 16 with their lower ends, so that they will lift the top part 16 when they tend to contract.
  • the elastic member 32 may also be externally attached to the box, preferably to the bottom wall 18 with its lower end and to a wall of the supply cabinet with its top end. This configuration may be preferred from a cost point of view: the elastic member is in this embodiment is not an integral part of the box and hence does not contribute to the costs of the box. An external elastic member (i.e. not contained within the box) can be reused over and over again.
